摘要:
Disclosed is a valve arrangement for aerating spring accumulator brake cylinders in a trailer vehicle with a pneumatic braking system, the valve arrangement having a first connection for a line connected to a reservoir of the trailer vehicle, a second connection for a line leading to the spring accumulator brake cylinders, and a first pneumatic control input, wherein the first connection can be connected to the second connection depending on the pressure on the first pneumatic control input. The first control input is connected to a line connected to a control connection of the trailer vehicle or to a line connected to the reservoir. A valve unit, a pneumatic braking system, a method of operating the same, and a trailer vehicle including the same are also disclosed.

An apparatus is disclosed for the control of brake pressure in a trailer pulled by a tractor. The apparatus includes a two-circuit controllable relay valve as the trailer control valve. The first circuit is controlled by the brake valve of the tractor with the pressure from the brake apparatus of such tractor. The second circuit can be optionally-connected to a distribution valve with a pressure medium source with a specified pressure or with atmosphere. Activation of the distribution valve is controlled so that the distribution valve connects the second circuit with the pressure medium source before or at the beginning of the activation of the first circuit. With this apparatus, the brake pressure can be increased in the brake apparatus of the trailer prior to increase of the brake pressure in the brake apparatus of the tractor. The level of brake pressure increased first in the brake unit of the trailer can be regulated by a set screw acting on the trailer control valve.
摘要:
A relay valve for a vehicle brake system having an operating piston which moves in one direction in response to entry of a control pressure into one part of the valve and which by that movement causes an orifice to open whereby working pressure is allowed to enter another part of the valve and pass from there through various outlets. There are six outlets and each is connected to a respective brake assembly of the vehicle brake system. A damping piston is connected to the operating piston so as to move therewith and is subjected to the same pressure as that acting against one side of the operating piston but in a manner such as to provide resistance to movement of the operating piston in the aforementioned one direction.
摘要:
A brake control system for a railway vehicle having separately operated independent and automatic brake controls for controlling brake pressure via a double check valve and a multi-piston relay valve, wherein an adjustable regulating valve is set to exhaust the independent brake control pressure acting on one piston of the multi-piston relay valve when the relay valve delivery pressure (brake cylinder pressure) exceeds a predetermined value, to thereby limit the maximum brake cylinder pressure attainable from the combined independent and automatic brake controls unless the automatic brake pressure exceeds that predetermined value.

In a system and apparatus for railway car brake control, a brake control apparatus for cars having sprung and unsprung portions is interposed between a train brake valve in a brake pressure supply line and a brake cylinder line of each railway car. A supply chamber is connected to the brake pressure supply line and a control chamber is connected to the brake cylinder line. The chambers are abutted by surfaces of a spring biased diaphragm having different cross-sectional areas. A first valve is responsive to positioning of the diaphragm, which is also selectively fluid biased by a strut cylinder mounted between the sprung and unsprung portions of the railway car, to effect predetermined relationships between pressure drop in the brake pressure supply line and pressure drop in the brake cylinder line. When the particular car is loaded, the brake cylinder line experiences a pressure drop substantially equal to that effected in the brake pressure supply line by the train brake valve. When the particular car is empty, the brake cylinder line experiences a pressure drop smaller than the pressure drop in the brake pressure supply line by the inverse ratio of the diaphragm surface areas abutting the control and supply chambers, respectively. The strut cylinder senses the extent of car loading so that the brake cylinder line of a partially loaded car experiences a proportional pressure drop over the entire range of brake pressure supply line pressure drops.

An air brake system for a vehicle having front service and parking brakes, and rear service and parking brakes, includes separate front service, rear service and parking air systems. In the event of a failure in either service air system, normal operation of the service brake control will automatically operate the parking brakes associated with the failed service brakes.
摘要:
A combined load-sensing proportion and relay valve for an air brake system including a valve disk which has an exhaust passage in its axial center and is adapted to hold the valve in normally closed position, and a control piston unit which is actuated by an indicated pressure from a brake valve to move the valve disk and open the valve. The control piston unit includes a first pressure-sensing piston for controlling the valve-opening action of the valve disk and a second pressure-sensing piston coaxially connected to the first piston via a spring therebetween. A stroke adjusting device is provided to control the axial movement of the second piston correspondingly to the payload of the vehicle.
摘要:
In a braking arrangement especially adapted for tractor-trailer vehicle brakes wherein the tractor includes hydraulically operated brakes and the trailer is equipped with compressed air operated brakes, the provision of a relay valve on the tractor for controlling the trailer brakes, the relay valve being selectively operable by hydraulic pressure when the tractor brakes are applied or by a separate source of compressed air carried by the tractor.
